Peanut Butter Oreo Bars

Drum roll please! I would like to introduce you to Peanut Butter Oreo Bars…the yummiest bar dessert you will ever eat! Be prepared to have your mouth buds shout for joy after tasting these amazing bars. They may not look like much but they will surprise you with their amazing flavor. I dare you to eat just one!

Peanut Butter, Oreos and Chocolate? Yes, please!

Peanut Butter Oreo bars have three delicious layers! Start with a layer of crushed Oreos and marshmallows. A thin layer of creamy peanut butter is next. Melted semi-sweet chocolate chips complete this yummy concoction. I highly recommend that they be chilled until the bottom layer is cool and the chocolate layer has hardened.

See the yummy layers? Doesn’t it make you want to run to kitchen and whip up a batch of these amazing Peanut Butter Oreo Bars?! If you do, I can guarantee they won’t last long!

Peanut Butter Oreo Bars

I received this recipe years ago from a neighbor. We immediately loved them! The original recipe was not very detailed, with vague ingredient amounts. I have adjusted the amounts from time to time. It is quite difficult to ruin this recipe. Adjusting the ingredients slightly will result in the same great taste. If you add more Oreos, the bottom layer will be thicker. More marshmallows make the bottom layer softer and more chewy. Add more peanut butter and they will be more peanut butter-y with a thicker peanut butter layer.

My recipe calls for a 9×13 pan but you can use a 9×9 brownie pan instead. The bars will be thicker but just as delicious. I purchase Oreos in a large box from Costco. The boxes contain 10 sleeves. My recipe calls for approx 39 Oreos, which is 3 sleeves from the Costco box. According to Nabisco’s website, a 14.1 oz Oreo package contains 36 Oreos and a 19.1 Family Size Oreo package contains 42 Oreos. You can use either the 14.1 oz or the 19.1 oz for this recipe.

Prepare a 9x13 dish by placing parchment paper in the dish or spraying with non-stick cooking spray.

Crush the Oreos. (I prefer to blend them in my blender a few at a time.)

Over low heat, melt the butter in a large pot, stirring frequently.

Add the marshmallows and stir until melted completely.

Add the crushed Oreos and mix well. (It will be thick and hard to stir but try to mix completely.)

Spoon the Oreo mixture into the 9x13 dish. Press the mixture to spread evenly throughout the pan. (Tip: the Oreo mixture won't stick to your fingers if you get them slightly wet.) Chill in the freezer (or refrigerator) for a few minutes until cooled slightly.

Remove from the freezer and spread the peanut butter evenly on the Oreo layer. Chill for a few minutes until cooled slightly.

Place the chocolate chips in a small, microwaveable bowl. Heat in microwave for 45 seconds; stir. Repeat heating at 15 second intervals, stirring well in between, until the chocolate is completely melted and has a smooth consistency.

Spread the chocolate over the peanut butter layer. Chill for a few minutes until the chocolate hardens.

Cut into squares and enjoy. Store in a sealed container at room temperature (or in the refrigerator, if you like them chilled better).
